Dog Bites

A closer look at the impact of dog bites
Dogs bite more than 4 million people annually, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). About 885,000 people need medical treatment. Tens of thousands of people need reconstruction surgery as a result of their injuries. Despite the frequency and severity of many attacks, the dog owner's insurance company may try to pay as little compensation after a dog bite as possible.
